Help me buy my next DAC

Just upgraded my turntable and am thinking of getting out of digital have a Meitner MA 1 in excellent condition that I could let go at an attractive price to include a Wireworld Platinum USB. Read the reviews it is an excellent performer. Best of Luck

The rotel RDD-1580 DAC just got a pretty over the top rave review by TAS.
Sells for just $800 brand new and looks like a million bucks. In the under $1k range I'd be looking at that.

If you step up to $3k-ish I'd be looking at the new femto wyred4sound DAC2se or the auralic vega.

Listen to the Aurilac Vega, perhaps used $26ish

Hi Krelldog
I have the Sim Audio Moon 100D. I probably won't be much help. I think it is a fantastic dac. I have compared it to the Sim Audio Moon 300D V2 with about 200 hours on it, which is a really great dac. Also with a NAD M51 with about 150 hrs on it. In my system the 100D is a little different but 95% of the 300D V2 and the M51 for musicality. I use a CD transport, and so no computer or internet radio. I do think the 100D would not shine quite as well in a thin or bright sounding system as it would in a neutral to slightly warm system. But that is not a big if just a small one. Please don't put to much emphasis on my post. I do think I have a extremely good, musical, natural sounding system and the 100D dac contributes to that.

What type of files on the hard drive? What do you play them through? For internet radio the V-DAc serves just fine.
